Ongoing IT Updates

Hardware

Public migration to WIN7 in Library West is almost done. Microform and unaffiliated patron left, and then high-end and on to the Music Library.

DHCP basically done. Final branches will be active Wednesday the 28th.

Physical server move to CSE is complete - VMs will be brought back online over the next few days

Internal testing of VMware View VDI - we'll be evaluating VMware View for the next several months. I may ask IT staff to volunteer to work off virtual desktops during the test to judge feasibility of a virtual environment

VIVO - Alex will be joining us on Tuesdays. VIVO 1.2.1 is the current version. Stabilization is greatly improved. QR codes discussed. Database connectivity is fixed. August 31 is the official end date of the grant. Harvester is working correctly and will be deployed once the data is cleaned up.

People Counter project - device to be installed in mid-July. Will need server/SQL.

ILS

Slow, Cynthia is working on documentation.

ALEPH v. 20 - will need to be deployed quickly. Will try to push with Altiris.

Web Projects

Virtual Bookplate issue fixed, but there was a new issue with a search that resulted in a return from an old CM folder. Tom renamed the folder so it will not turn up in a search again. Dan Reboussin then reported people could not see his web page. He was directed to use LibGuides.

WordPress works. News blog looks as it should, but it should have FTP access. Logan to work on it.

Catalog log-in shift to Gatorlink - waiting for the word to roll it out. Proxy issues.
